MISSION STATEMENT

As a teacher, I cannot be achieving only for myself. Like a spider's web, a thousand fibers connect

 us with each student. On those threads our actions vibrate one way and reverberate as effects

 and impacts. I would like to enable my students with a web of knowledge, questions, trust,

compassion and a sense of community. I have an obligation not only to teach but also to be real.

I feel my greatest strengths is my ability to encourage and foster relationships with my students. 

I will strive to look at each student as an individual and embrace their diversity. I would like to 

be the compass in the classroom guiding my students along their educational path. I have a 

unique and daunting responsibility to shape the future through my students.

 It is a journey we will walk together.
